Contents Pack-Out, Cleaning, and Storage Services
When a home or business in the Phoenix metro area needs repairs after water, fire, or smoke damage, Preferred Choice Restoration can pack up the belongings inside and move them off the property to protect them while the work is done. This is called a pack-out. Our contents team inventories each item, cleans anything the damage reached, and keeps everything in storage until it’s ready to return to your property.
- Furniture and personal belongings
- Contents cleaning and storage
- Locally owned since 2013
How Our Contents Pack-Out Protects Your Belongings
A pack-out gets your belongings out of the way of the damage and the repairs, and it takes the packing off your hands.
- Your belongings are protected during repairs. We move your furniture, electronics, and keepsakes off the property, away from further damage, construction dust, and the work itself.
- Items you thought were ruined can be saved. Our contents team cleans what the damage reached, including the sentimental pieces you can’t replace.
- Nothing gets lost. We inventory every item before it leaves and return each one to its place when the work is done, so you always know where your belongings are.
- Your repairs move faster. With the rooms cleared, our crews can remove damaged materials and rebuild without stopping to move furniture from room to room, so you’re back in your space sooner.
- You don’t have to pack, move, or store anything yourself. Sorting through a damaged property is exhausting, so our team handles every step for you.

Contents Pack-Out FAQs
Phoenix and Gilbert Contents Pack-Out FAQs
What do I need to do before a pack-out?
Only set aside the things you’ll need day to day and anything that would be hard to replace, like ID, medications, eyeglasses, important papers, cash, jewelry, family photos, and phone chargers. Our crew packs everything else, including what’s inside drawers, closets, and cabinets, so you can leave them as they are.
Do you pack up everything or only the damaged rooms?
We pack only what needs to leave, which is usually everything in the rooms being repaired. Belongings in rooms the damage didn’t reach can often stay where they are. After a fire or flood that affected most of the property, a pack-out can include nearly everything you own.
How long will my belongings stay in storage?
That comes down to how much of the property has to be rebuilt. A pack-out after a leak in one bathroom usually wraps up much sooner than one after a fire that spread through the whole property.
After water damage, which belongings can be kept and which have to go?
Most belongings with a hard, sealed surface can be cleaned and kept. Solid wood furniture usually can be too, though some pieces need regluing or refinishing afterward. Upholstered furniture, mattresses, and pillows that soaked up floodwater usually have to go, because the padding and filling can’t dry fast enough to stop mildew. We clean and dry the pieces that can be saved.
Do I need to keep damaged belongings until my adjuster sees them?
Yes, but you don’t have to keep them yourself. Insurers usually want to inspect damaged belongings, or at least see them documented, before anything is thrown away, so we pack them out with everything else, list them on the inventory, and hold them in storage until your adjuster has seen them or says they can go.
